Have not seen 1951 Amperex or Mullard ECC82 so far.

  Not likely
  I agree but those dates you gave would indicate that.Do you have the actual tubes in front of you?.I have never known the europeans to use date codes the way used to with the last two digits being the year.
  If the power supply waveform isn't pretty,neither is the sound in most cases.

    I was under the impression that Philips was the first to make the ECC8X series tubes in Europe & they didn't start-up until the mid-1950's. My earliest ECC82 are some Mullard ECC82 dated the usual Philips/Mullard way to around 1958.
